We understand each other,but a fee to a lobbyist is NOT a contribution to a committee chair which was your comment.

Jduds The truth would be nice. Opinions always welcome, flat out lies not so much. I've always respected your opinions, usually don't agree. You would be better served to not let your dislike of the IBA get in the way of your thought process. From past posts I thought you were better than that...

Sorry the committee list didn't turn out quite right.

Tomorrow, Thur March 14 the HNRC will meet to discuss the NR deer tags and the NR landowner issue in regards to the any sex deer tag. There are some new committee members that feel it is in the best interest of Iowans to bring these issues to the fore ground. My guess is they will be asking for...

ACCESS/RECREATIONAL TRESPASS LIABILITY FIX. Recently the IOWA Supreme Court handed down a decision that a landowner could be sued for allowing access to someone who is injured on their property. This threw out the liability protection given to landowners by Iowa Code in the “Recreational...

Busy collecting notes and personal thoughts from several people that attended meeting. Give me a couple days.

Dept of Ag has control over all deer farms, breeding operations etc, the DNR has control over those operations that allow high fence hunting. I think it's time to ask Ag Dept and Gov office why all the foot dragging. When almost every other state depopulates deer farms immediately upon being...

If the IBA can get the NASP program into 3 or 4 more schools we will gladly accept a conservation tag every year. MN2Ia Guy- I will correct you. The IBA never lobbyed for the 35% Rule Yes, the nonresident quota for the Any-Deer Combo licenses (quota 6000) is split so that 35% can go to...

FB puts a positive spin on the fact that the Gov will cut the tag reduction in half. I believe hunters can do the same spin.
